Miramax Animation is an American animation studio that is the animation division of Miramax. Founded by former Paramount animator Michael Winters in May 1991. The first film produced by Miramax Animation, Romeo and Juliet, was released on September 9, 1994. After twelve years of operation, the studio was quietly shut down in 2006, along with the Miramax Family division.

Miramax Animation's production services only in films 2007 and 2020

On March 18, 2019, Miramax revived its animation division, along with its family division. Michael Lachance, who had previously developed projects at DreamWorks Animation and Sony Pictures Animation, was named the division's executive vice president.

History[]

After leaving Paramount Feature Animation in 1990, animator Michael Winters was hired by Miramax founders Bob and Harvey Weinstein to discuss the creation of a feature animation division, an offer which Winters immediately accepted. In 1991, Miramax announced its plans to launch an animation division, and hired a few of the staff jobs from other animation studios, such as Walt Disney Feature Animation and Hanna-Barbera, to join the feature animation department.
